Yeah, i don’t think this is working well for either party. I understand that i can be abrasive sometimes, but the moment a moderator passive aggressively comes at me (for a second time now) for something that’s almost entirely an issue on their end (the forum keeps logging me out despite me asking to stay logged in, and if you’re not deliberately checking for it, you’ll not notice it – i usually notice when i want to quote someone, since that’s not possible when not logged in) is the day that i’ll just throw my hands up. Of course it’s not just this situation now, it’s just on top of me not being able to calmly deal with conspiracy theorists, luddites etc, on top of some questionable reprimands by mods for people who’re not okay with braking contracts, laws and the such like. Better for everybody, moderators don’t have to deal with the “vast amount” of postings requiring authorisation (it was two that triggered this, as a sidenote), and i don’t get annoyed. Sucks to miss out on conversations with the few “cool” guys here, but we’ll all manage. You certainly have a good one Kezo, maybe we’ll bump into each other at some point on Blwch Mountain (or Morriston Hospital, we’re regulars there). Just look for the fat angry german bloke in a grey GTE.
Yes I would agree with you that there is a minor setup niggle on the forum/server with its coding. It happens to me occasionally especially after Ive written 5-6 lines the system kicks me out as it has seen my post as garbage if I have not been active for a couple of hours or more (no sarcasm please) I’m also aware it has happened t other members as well.
Just to check your end, you have not refreshed your browser or deleted your cookies/history or your IP hasn’t changed since you were last active, it will be a problem with the forum, which I will bet my bottom dollar the forum is written in PHP, a simple version based around C/C++ to which I have flouted a few suggestions on different threads.
Given the forum is inclusive allowing non members to post is a rarity in the forum world. The problem in my opinion has arisen since @wmccarforum changed how non members can post, requiring moderation.
However @Rene you do not seem the type of person who will throw their hat in easily, rather somebody who can give as good as they get. My advice is sleep on it, but if you do decide to leave you never know I may see you around. Just look out for a Hyundai Tuscon with a fuel tanker behind it 🙂
